Love this bottle of peated Bunna, will definitely miss it when it’s gone.
No water: Honey ham on the nose, big smoky creosote peat, tingle on the tongue and a fruity finish. After adding water, the fruit became more dominant and the tingle gone.

Fortunately/Unfortunately you have to purchase both bottles

Anyone going to grab one of these? Pre-sale opened today, full release on Saturday.

“The fourth iteration of the whisky that put Sons of Vancouver on the map has arrived. Aged for 3-5 years in ex-bourbon, new American oak, and finally rested in Colombian rum casks, this 100% rye whisky opens with overripe pineapple and banana bread on the nose, followed by a palate of demerara sugar, dark chocolate, and lingering baking spice. Each sip feels like a tropical escape that makes you want to quit your job and float away into island bliss. 53.5% ABV”

With their recent bundle, they are effectively charging 311 for the SB 12CS and 289 for the SB15. Double to triple MSRP.

Springbank is known to remove allocations for whisky stores that price gouge. I encourage everyone to report them so stores like this no longer get allocations

Powers John's Lane 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey | LCBO

A very tasty Irish whiskey. $79.95

Does anyone know if there is another Alberta premium cask strength coming out and available at LCBO

? I had 2 bottles of the 64.2% batch which I think was from 2024(?). I’m running low on the 2nd bottle and would love to pick up more of their stuff.

It’s not super rare but a good any springbank at MSRP is nice.

I haven't tried it, the BCL said they grabbed the last 24 bottles available. Looks like a great deal.

We’ve never been to either city, going for hockey games, but figured I would take advantage to partake in a Canadian whisky hunt.
1) any distillery tours w/tastings & purchasing
worth visiting?
2) anything at the local liquor stores that’s worth picking up that is not available in northern Virginia?
3) bars with good Canadian whisky selections?
Thanks in advance!

Heads up, travelers!

Eagle Rare 12 for 50$ at Duty Free.

Found this on my way from NY to Ottawa

Duty Free Americas, 46792 Route 81

Plenty left as well as ER 10

Very happy with the purchase, regretting picking only one(

BC Liquor must have gotten another shipment in. Available in 35 stores and at a great price. I still have two unopened bottles or I would buy some more.

Hello everyone,
I have to introduce my friend to Canadian whiskey. He loves drinking Scottish whiskey. He likes Black Label, Teachers Highland Cream(his everyday favourite), Dalmore, Macallan, Chivas and many such other whiskies. He’s coming from Australia and I want to introduce him to our Canadian whisky but I am confused which one should I go for I want something on the kind of premium side!
I personally like Crown black, CC and Seagram's I don’t drink often so have very less knowledge.
Please give me recommendations and enlightening me with the Canadian whisky knowledge 🙂
Thank you in advance
Cheers 🥃 ❤️

Hey folks, just finished bottles of lot 40 and Alberta premium 10, and looking for recommendations for other ryes I should try that work in cocktails (manhattans, etc), that I can get at the lcbo

Cheers

Super sherry bomb

Pic 1: My buddy Sean treated Mrs. Hex and I to a night of music and scotch tonight and it was absolutely lovely. Tasted 4 Ardnahoes - The Infinite Loch, The Bholsa, The Cask Strength (my favourite), and the Chairman's Selection (which I was looking forward to trying...the nose made me think it might be worth $210, the palate made me glad I got to try it first). =D

Pic 2: The boys did four songs including a lovely version of The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond, a version of which we had already chosen as our wedding song when we get married next year.

Pic 3: An awesome dude, the love of my life, and myself =D

Could not resist the temptation

Hey folks! So, I saw a recent post about the OKS Laird of Fintry and it got me thinking about this one. I've been drinking this one on and off over the summer and figured I’d finally write up some thoughts, because this is probably one of the stranger Canadian whiskies I’ve had in a while.

Miss Scarlet’s from Okanagan Spirits starts with an Irish Red Ale, uses hops, spends 8 years in new white oak, and then gets another year in Okanagan cherry brandy casks.

So… yeah. There’s a lot going on here.

Bright, fresh cherry, red berries, some salal/salmon berry, and a pretty noticeable toasted oak character. There’s also this light herbal thing underneath it that definitely reminds me of hops. It has a bit of a beer-like quality to it, which I oddly love. It's actually much brighter than I expected.

It could have easily ended up tasting like “whisky + cherry syrup + hops,” but I don’t get that. The oak gives the fruit somewhere to sit, the cherry adds sweetness and brightness, and the herbal character cuts through some of that richness. However, very unusual and not for everyone.

Is it conventional? Absolutely not.

Would I recommend it to someone who loves JP 10? Nope.

But if you like experimental whisky, unusual finishes, beer-influenced spirits, or just want to drink something that doesn't taste like the last five bottles you've had, this is a pretty fun one.

Has anyone else tried Miss Scarlet’s? Or other hopped whiskies?
